Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Sumskas is a Senior Software Engineer based in Sydney with eight years of experience building embedded and autonomy software for robotics and defense. He combines mechatronics and computer science training from the University of Sydney with hands-on expertise in C, C++, Python, ROS and STM32 firmware to deliver systems from low-level joint control to high-level kinematics and collision avoidance. At Reach Robotics he led a small team to ship a 3D GUI and a novel hand-tracking controller (now patent-pending) and scaled the company’s customer SDK offerings. More recently he has been applying that autonomy and systems experience at Anduril, contributing to production-grade software in a fast-paced defense environment. He also led the USYD RobotX team to top national results, showing an ability to guide multidisciplinary teams under competition pressure. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who moves comfortably between embedded constraints and complex autonomy algorithms.
